This collection of papers offers technical analyses, policy recommendations and an overview of success stories to date. Each carefully selected paper provides valuable insights for improved policy making and defines relevant strategic priorities on Africa’s sustainable transformation process, which is in line with the international development agenda. Although agriculture remains the main source of income for Africa’s population, the sector is rain-fed subjecting it to the vagaries of weather and climate change. This volume demonstrates the rationale of developing a competitive, inclusive and sustainable agribusiness sector for Africa’s food security and structural transformation. From the impact of Bioenergy crop adoption and Drought Index Insurance to Agro-Industrialization, this volume is important reading for individual researchers, academic associations and professional bodies interested in African agricultural development.Agricultural economicsAfrica—Economic conditionsEnvironmental economicsIndustrial organizationEconomic policyDevelopment economicsAgricultural Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W47000African Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W45020Environmental Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W48000Industrial Organizationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W31010R & D/Technology Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W43000Development Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000Electronic books.Agricultural economics.Africa—Economic conditions.Environmental economics.Industrial organization.Economic policy.Development economics.Agricultural Economics.African Economics.Environmental Economics.Industrial Organization.R & D/Technology Policy.Development Economics.338.1Shimeles Abebeedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtVerdier-Chouchane Audreyedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBoly Amadouedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910293146603321Building a Resilient and Sustainable Agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa2275573UNINA04665nam 2200589 a 450 991078200480332120230617000721.01-84964-253-21-281-75061-197866117506191-4356-6239-3(CKB)1000000000533618(StDuBDS)AH22933543(SSID)ssj0000253927(PQKBManifestationID)11216651(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000253927(PQKBWorkID)10188085(PQKB)11563559(MiAaPQ)EBC3386335(Au-PeEL)EBL3386335(CaPaEBR)ebr10479866(OCoLC)244567762(EXLCZ)99100000000053361820050124d2005 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtccrThe suppression of guilt[electronic resource] the Israeli media and the reoccupation of the West Bank /Daniel DorLondon ;Ann Arbor, Mich. Pluto Pressc20051 online resource (128 p.)Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-7453-2294-8 0-7453-2295-6 Includes bibliographical references (p. 107-113) and index.'Daniel Dor analyses how Israeli press and television cover the conflict with the Palestinians. He argues that investigative reporting and dissent are routinely marginalised. Although the media are certainly not uniform, he finds that the stories they tell reflect their emotional identification with their readers and viewers.' Philip Schlesinger, Professor of Film and Media Studies, University of Stirling 'Dor's book gives ample evidence of how the Israeli free press easily turned into an instrument of propaganda. ... Personally, the book helped me get over the frustration of seeing the reality I described totally marginalised in print.' Amira Hass, journalist for the Israeli daily Ha'aretz' Daniel Dor is a brave and non-conventional Israeli reader of his country's media in wartime. He is neither misled by state propaganda nor affected psychologically by Palestinian terrorism. He critically reviews Israeli media reports, exploring the way that they often adopt a siege mentality that combines victimhood with a collective demonisation of the Palestinians.'Dr. Menachem Klein, author of The Jerusalem Problem: The Struggle for Permanent Status In the three years that have passed since Operation Defensive Shield - three years marked by denial, deceit, rage and resentment - one fact remains uncontroversial: never, until the operation, had there been such a wide breach between the Israeli collective consciousness and international public opinion. Israeli scholar Daniel Dor measures this gap and concludes that Israeli society has withdrawn into an unprecedented sense of isolation and victimization - largely because of the role played by the Israeli media.Different media outlets provided their readers and viewers with significantly different perspectives on the operation, but they all shared a certain emotional attitude, not vis-a-vis the operation itself, but in relations to the global discourse of blame against Israel: they all projected an urgent, desperate, almost obsessive urge to suppress, to dismiss, to fend off guilt. Dor shows how analysing this type of reporting as an attempt to manufacture consent with the government and the military fails to capture its essential nature. He argues that, at its core, the coverage proposed alternatives for the construction of an Israeli identity. During the operation, all the different media converged around one assertion: being Israeli at this point in time feels like being accused by the entire world of something we are not guilty of. Basing his arguments on detailed analyses of media reports, Dor explores how the Israeli media work within the context of the global media and world opinion, rather than within the classic context of the nation-state -- and what it means for the future of the country.Arab-Israeli conflict1993-Press coverageIsraelArab-Israeli conflict1993-West BankMass mediaMoral and ethical aspectsIsraelArab-Israeli conflictPress coverageArab-Israeli conflictMass mediaMoral and ethical aspects070.4/4995694054Dor Daniel1963-1472188MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782004803321The suppression of guilt3684889UNINA
